Had such high hopes for this. Got a really clean copy (paid extra for it). Sounds horrible. Sounds like I’m listening through a tin can. Oh well. Win some, lose some.

Just bought a used version a record show and would have never known if I hadn't read this.
vinylnotvinyls73 Feb 22, 2021
I have this version (Variant 3) that looks like it's black vinyl but when held up to the light, it's actually a transparent Brown with wisps of Black steaks throughout it. Does anyone else have this version? Or any other variant that has this same color effect? I know this was common practice with some record plants back then but i think this is a different case, as I seem to there being another version that was listed as having this color effect. I thought it was a Japanese version with an Obi strip but I couldn't find it when I just looked for it again. Anyways, does anyways else have a copy that looks black but is a different color when held up to the light? Thanks.
